Mikkel Kessler vs Jermaine Taylor

Kessler UD

 

Taylor's defense has truly stepped up. Kessler was pretty much getting hit at will by Calzaghe. It would be a good match up.

 

Taylor is very easy to read and would be countered all night long. He might have faster hands in a flurry, but his one punch delivery is not faster and Kessler hits harder. He would be beat to the punch and hurt due to Kesslers accuracy and punching technique. Whether Kessler could KO him i dont know, but he would certainly beat him.

 

Speed and he will need that Tenacious D from last night too.

 

Kessler takes the fraud out in the middle rounds

 

Why is Taylor a fraud? He actually fought quite well against Pavlik, took some very good shots, and made the fight competitive. Sure, he definitely lost but at least give the guy some props. Most people (myself included) were certain he would get KO'd again. Try and put aside the ridiculously biased hate for once in your life Zakman and give credit where credit is due.

 

Kesller wins via wide UD.

 

You are joking?

Taylor isn't a big puncher. Joe hurt Kessler badly in the 7th, Taylor couldn't even shift Spinks or Ouma

 

To protect him?

More like to protect the other fighters from getting a beatdown in the mid/later rounds.

 

Who has he ever stopped? He couldn't stop 2 JMW's, and he's a huge middleweight himself. What more evidence do we need he also can't hit his way out of a paper bag?

Calzaghe couldn't stop Kassim Ouma or Spinks? Joe walks around at cruiser, he would be so much bigger and stronger it would be a demolition

 

I would take Kessler by ko somewhere in the 3-6 round range. No way Taylor can hang with the big boys at 168. I heard that Kess was at the Taylor/Pavlik fight last night. Not sure who he was looking to fight but if JT signs to fight Kess he will have three losses in a row....yikes

 

Damn terrrible analysis, Kessler is an A class fighter. Taylor is not even in Kesslers class. Kessler is a complete fighter. Taylor is not a complete fighter. If thety do fight Kessler outboxes him and knocks his ass the ****out!

 

Calzaghe would stop Ouma.

 

I picked Taylor...based on Jermains performance last nite and Kesslers performance vs. calzaghe.....easy pick
